VIVA LA BOISE!


Well as some of you know Charlie and I decided to go to Boise last minute for an impromptu visit. We miss Boise so much that we had to go back and bask in its glory! The fun part was that none of Charlie's family members (except Jenny and Drew) knew that we were coming. We parked down the street, jumped over Wendy and Al's fence into the backyard and knocked on the back door. To Wendy's surprise, the two of us were standing there. This was the weekend of Kylee's baby shower so not only did we get to see Charlie's parents and siblings, we were able to spend time with a lot of extended family and friends as well. It was such a great visit and the trip rejuvenated us until we can go back north again. The seventeen hour car ride and over 2000 miles traveled was well worth it!!! We can hardly wait until Thanksgiving where we will be able to get out of the 100 degree weather and play in the snow!



Once through this opening, the view was spectacular. This was in Arizona, shortly after we crossed the Utah/Arizona border. The view overlooked a huge valley with the beautiful AZ red rock and part of the Grand Canyon. It was breathtaking!











Some more fun pics on the way home.....somewhere in the middle of nowhere!













Once we saw this sign we knew we had to eat here to represent Charlie's dad....BIG AL!! This was a hole in the wall burger joint in Kanab that we ate lunch at.









While in Boise we got to see our cute niece Carly who is now one and a half! She has the cutest smile ever....We love this girl!


































Here are some pictures at the beginning of the Grand Canyon on the Navajo reservation. It was awesome!
